[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobshute:
With all the 2.2.1 roms and porting of I9000 roms and multiiple versions of the different kernels being posted over the last few days I'm more than a bit confused.

Bionix Frost (2.2.1) originally needed (SDCard Fix) version of one of three kernels. now I don't know as it says all kernels supported.

Darkys 9.3 Vibrant Edition (2.2.1) comes with a standard 2.2 kernel. I'm using this with the old Dead Horse #53 and all is fine. Is there no need for Dead Horse 2.2.1? Wil Dead Horse 2.2.1 work?

Simply Galaxy/Sweet Honey (2.2.1) comes with Dead Horse 2.2.1 #73. Is this needed or can any 2.2 kernel work? or is SDCard mounting bad?

Stock JS5 (2.2.1) comes with stock 2.2 kernel.

Eugene's Dead Horse 2.2 2.2.1 kernel for I9000. Is this only needed for TRUE I9000 roms?

Eugene's reboot fix (services.jar). Is this only needed for TRUE I9000 roms?

All the above 2.2.1 roms. Do I need to use a I9000 theme or can I use a I9000 theme? Will it break the services.jar or something else?

Same questions about Vibrant 2.2 themes.

BTW, yes I read all th OP's.

Thanks

I know that the droid 2 doesn't have a front facing camera, but what are all those circles up top? I know one is the led, ambient light, and proximity sensor, but what is that fourth one? It kinda looks like one, has anyone tried a modified software with video chat?

I know the two circles on the left are the ambient light and proximity sensors but I'm not sure what the little one is bellow the led
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzh2:
1. So I've heard that a HDMI cable works the same way as the HD dock, does it let you open theater mode(forgot the actual name) or hdmi mirroring with just a cable?

No mirroring yet. Theater mode pops up as an option when plugging in a HDMI cable. with a long enough cable it works as a great remote control.

2. Does the 'Theater' mode play video that was not created on the device?

Yes, but you should check the supported codec list on motorolas website, I have had some problems with some obscure audio codecs.

3. Does the Android window in webtop mode let you scale the app or is it a fixed size?

Yes its scalable, but there is borders on the screen that prevent it from stretching to the entire screen

4. Has anyone tried using storage(such as a keydrive) or wireless keyboard/mouse(2.4GHz not bluetooth) in the usb ports on the HD dock or the Laptop Dock?

FAT32 usb drives seem to work, haven't gotten to try a usb 2.0 hdd. Wireless 2.4GHZ peripherals work fine.

so HDMI mirroring is out i know that but still havent been able to test any of the rest of this in my trip to AT&T, as someone had locked the fingerprint reader to their print lol

Well here is another question sorry if it has already bein answered. Well the other day while surfing the internet at the bottom of my screen in a box it said "screen captured" I don't know how I did it but I did. Well it created a new photo of what I was viewing and a folder for it. So has anyone heard of this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lactardjosh:
Are you rooted and do you have ShootMe? ShootMe has an option to use the accelerometer (by shaking) to take a screen shot. You don't need to shake it very hard. It also has options to use the proximity sensor and noise (yelling at the phone).

With 2.3.3, there will be a built in screen shot tool, but that isn't even a twinkle in our eye yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnJr2233:
Nope I don't have any screen capture apps and I am running froyo 2.2 from att stock non rooted. It really has confused me..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Hrm.. never heard of that happening unless you have downloaded an application that will take screenshots.

I would double check what apps you have installed. Also... I know a lot of the custom ROM's are starting to "harden" their builds against spam/ads/spyware etc..

Possible you will want to update your hosts files to block the crud on the internet. Unfort I don't know if their is an app in the market that does this or if you would just have to move to a custom ROM.

Keep us posted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnJr2233:
Well after doing some research I found this...http://getandroidstuff.com/how-to-take-screenshot-with-samsung-galaxy-s-with-no-root/ now I can't get it to work on my phone but maybe it will work on others and when I went to my running services I had one called "screencaptureservice" I may just be pushing the wrong buttons though any ideas?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Well.. this is a whole lot less scary.

The site states if your holding down the back button then press the home button it will take a screen cap.

I would just monitor how your using your phone and be careful when pressing your capacitive buttons. Could be it just recognized the command as you wanted to take a screen shot and you just fat-fingered it :)

Good info to have though - thanks for the tip.

***edit... btw I couldn't replicate this - but then I'm running a custom ROM. Anyone on stock 2.2 been able to repeat this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnJr2233:

[Nexus S General] krex:
Hi,

I've experienced that after update to 2.3.3 automatic brightness is not working anymore on my Nexus. I checked with GPS Status and it is confirmed, brightness can't go up than 160 lux, even if I hold it under strong light. (it is only 10 or 160 lux)

Has anybody experience the same or is this my problem only?

thanks for responses.

[edit]

I've managed after a restart to reach higher value (2600 lux), but I still don't see to change the level of brightness during moving the phone between dark and light.. Am I too fast now? I remember, I don't have problem with this before 2.3.3

[edit2]

sorry, I figured out. If I hold it under very strong light, brightness changes, but remains on higher value until I turn off/on the display again. Is it normal?
[Nexus S General] gratti:
Mine works better than before actually. Maybe wipping everything and reflashing the ROM can fix it.
[Nexus S General] krex:
thanks for the advice. Can I reflash 2.3.3. onto 2.3.3 without any problem?

yours is changing dinamically moving between dark and lighter conditions?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ubufugu:
did you compress the zip file? You can't use compression on it, otherwise it will not be loaded, as the zip is supposed to act as a container only. If using 7zip, there's an option for "store" as the compression type. Use that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kdwolf85:
No I did not compress the file. I selected the use the archive as storage with no compression. Like I said I have tried everything I can think of.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ugoff:
There is something about the pngs that is unknown as of yet. I created an image sequence from an avi with virtualdub and it worked fine. The image sequence I made with Rhino 3d does not. Same amount of frames, same desc.txt, same compression program (7-zip), relatively same filesize.

Make sure you're using a text editor that supports ANSI/UNIX save mode correctly. Notepad++ is good and free. And of course, the afforementioned 0 compression/store zip file. WinRAR did not work for me, but 7-zip did.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dante04SRT:
If I use 7Zip to create a 'store' file, can I just change the filename from a .7z file to a .zip file?

[edit] Looks like I can just make a zip file with 7zip
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ugoff:
Gotta ask, what are the 'presets' in the part0 folder? I'm pretty sure that wasn't helping it work any...

So, there are a lot of guides on this subject and all of them have said that the images, regardless of folder, have to be incremental. So, frames 0(or 1) to 99 from part0 have to continue in part1 starting at 100.

I ran all the images through a PNG optimizer to shrink them after renaming all of part1 and gave it a shot. It does work now, but 800x480 images are rather slow to display I guess, or the framerate was low. I did not get to see the whole animation play due to fast booting on custom ROMs, but it started part1 before my homescreen came up.

Take a look
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ACDYZG:
I have also tried almost everything, I just want the motorola Atrix boot animation to run on mine, I tried flashing a zip that was supposed to work, it didnt, I tried getting all of the files and making a non compressed zip and replacing it with root explorer, and that didnt work either. im about ready to give up, seemed like such a simple task.

[General Questions and Answers] pauld5999:
I am curious about the software limitations of Android for online flash based audio/video chat

Is it possible on 2.2 to access an online a/v chat powered by Community Chat v 7.0 software? I've tried using Dolphin HD (with flash enabled of course) and was unsuccessful.

I am able to access other flash based a/v chat sites such as Tiny Chat (limited to viewing video and text input only, can not broadcast video) but the Community Chat v 7.0 sites are a no go.

Is this something that an app could be developed for or is there a limitation within the OS causing this?

It's been a pain in the ass, but I think I got it to work!

The AOSP guide is not updated ATM, thus I thought it was a good idea to share my "collage work".

1. clone CM's Superuser in packages/apps/Superuser (available branches: cupcake-donut, eclair-froyo, gingerbread)

--> https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Superuser.git

2. add Superuser to the PRODUCT_PACKAGES make variable:

--> https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build/commit/d773d973f603b8f0de04604f846c8f9578e4872f

3. add superuser certificates (note: they are TWO files, not one. One is binary): https://github.com/ChainsDD/platform_build/commit/672eec771e199c6849b6c4321943610e0ac8252d

4. remove contents from system/extras/su and add the ones from https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_system_extras/tree/gingerbread/su

Happy root :) (it SHOULD work)
[Nexus One Android Development] fede DREAM ITA:
not working
[Legend General] FourForty:
ok, i know this sounds absurd. But hear me out.

When going through the unlocking guide for the HTC legend on unlockr.com.

(http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/)

The guide offers a download for the version of HTC Sync required during the downgrading procedure. The provided website even includes the download link for the file.

So, I install it and go about my attempts at rooting. (I ultimately fail and still have yet to figure it out, but that's not the issue here.)

After trying it and failing, i try another computer. (XP) as mine is Win7.

A few hours later, My fathers World of Warcraft account gets stolen. Curious.

After going through all the steps to lock, restore, and re-active the account. The password to it and his e-mail have been changed.

Next night. same thing happens. I try to scan the computer for malware, nothing shows up. So, I'm looking through the processes, and i come across 'logger.exe' and 'generic.exe'

After doing some research and tests, guess what? It was installed with that supplied version of HTC Sync. It was stealing WoW accounts and clearing them out.

It couldn't do it on my Win 7 machine because i didn't have wow installed, or due to Win7 security measures, I don't know. But it only worked on the XP machine. However, it was also present on the win7 machine.

The loggers are located in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Teleca Shared\Generic.exe and

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Teleca Shared\logger.exe

Both of these processes are malware and were installed on my computers from that Unlockr HTC Sync installation file.

I just wanted to inform everybody here if they've used that version of HTC sync from unlockr that they may want to check their computers for this keylogger.

I've googled it, and i'm not the only one.

I've sent an e-mail about this to unlockr last week and they have yet to get back to me, or remove the file.
[Legend General] QkSi1ver:
are you sure about that?

i have a stock legend and htc sync downloaded directly from the htc website... i just checked and coincidentally it is also the version 2.0.33 and also have the 2 suspicious logger and generic in my tasks... are you saying that these 2 processes are malwares from the official htc source?

i'm gonna google it and i hope you're wrong ...

I did a search and found the following links... which seems to say they are legit processes from htc sync software... its just a bad choice of name i agree...

http://systemexplorer.net/filereviews.php?fid=6587

[Legend General] FourForty:
Well, this could very well be true. But personally, too many things don't add up.

This process (for me) only activated when i booted WoW. Otherwise it wasn't running.

After doing some online research, i found three other people who's linked this process to stolen wow accounts.

My fathers wow account was repeatedly broken in to until i removed this process.

As for it being in the legit HTC Sync. I agree, and i'm not disputing that. But that doesn't mean that the version supplied by unlockr from a file download site (not directly from HTC) may be infected and pretending to be the legit processes.

Too many coincidences for me to believe that this is 100% a coincidence.

Coincidence that it only actives when wow starts.

Coincidence that the wow account stopped being stolen only right after that process was removed.

Coincidence that multiple other people have had the exact same problem. (Though the place they acquired htc sync is not known).

I fully admit i don't have all the proof and could very well be wrong and making myself look like an idiot. But, I don't think i am. Too much of this doesn't add up to it being completely safe and some other thing is the cause for us who's been effected.

Again, just thought i'd put that out there.
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
I might have to look into this, however you said the logger only starts up when using WoW... there has to be a process running that activates logger.exe when starting WoW.

Submit the files to Symantec/Trend and see if they find it suspicious.

Have you used Process Explorer to track down where the file actually resides?

Right click the process and choose properties, you can see where on the hard drive the file exists.

That's not the point... the point is I don't like bloatware and stuff running on my comp just because. If you are running stuff just because, you need better comp to be able to do your job besides that. Coz you need an anti-virus you need bigger comp and bigger stronger comp draws more power so you are at loss 2x in a row for nothing and you are getting grey hair 2x faster again all for nothing... installing drivers, removing drivers, reinstalling them again... repeating it 10x and you are still at point zero meaning you haven't yet began to do your job, which comp was primarily ment for.

I haven't removed and reinstalled drivers in months, and MSSE takes an extremely small amount of CPU time to do its thing. The power draw between the two is absolutely minimal, if at all measurable. Sure, Norton and McAfee retail AV sucks donkey balls, but there are very capable and lightweight alternatives to those hilarious sacks of crap, pardon my french.

Windows has moved on since the '98 days, and you only have bloatware if you buy a PC from a manufacturer and don't uninstall it. You should try Windows 7 some time; when properly set up it's extremely good. Much better than the atrocity that was Fis... er... Vista.

You know and understand Linux. I know and understand Windows, because it's my job and because the vast majority of the business desktop world runs on Windows, if not OS X. You no doubt have preconceived notions about how bad Windows is, I have preconceived notions about Linux. That doesn't mean each OS doesn't have its own place, and it doesn't necessarily follow that they are intrinsically bad or useless.

[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
I'm going to get round to installing a VM in my spare time and test the theory that those files are bad, just because MBAM and NOD32 don't pick them up as being bad, doesn't mean they aren't.

OT:

Calm down :D I used Linux and Windows in the late 90's through to about 2003, some friends using FreeBSD converted me and it's much better in terms of stability and package management (ports tree rocks!), and no dependency issues at all. I use Linux occasionally and it's come along way, but Windows has come even further imo, since Win9x - Vista was a stepping stone and you need a bad apple even now and then huh? :D

I have to use Windows because it's what my job requires, I tried Ubuntu and open source office alternatives but nothing touched MS Office, imo. There is no bloatware on my PC because I installed Win7 from scratch after arriving from Dell, it found all my drivers and installed them for me and they all work without any problems. I didn't have to pay for it because the company I work for does, same as Office. The majority of office worker use MS products for a reason, they're good and if they weren't people would be changing to alternatives far quicker than what they are.

PS: I regularly have 2 x XP, 2-3x Win7, 2-3 Linux/BSD and 2-3 Windows 2003/2008 VM's running all at once. Practising migrations needs a lot of machines running and it's cheaper doing it on a beast than have 10 stand alone machines.

Ok, I understand that we should have backups with clockworkmod and/or titanium to avoid these issues.

However, what happens if I don't have a backup of an app that I've paid for and somehow lose it?

Does the market recognize that I purchased the app before and let me re-download? Do I have to re-purchase the app?

With itunes for example, if you don't have a backup of purchased music you have to jump through flaming hoops to get it back and you're still not guaranteed they will work with you.

How do this work for us?
